## Summary

Transport for Wales Rail Limited is buying a mobile shore supply unit for railway operations. The requirement is for one 180kVA, 850V unit, including its supply, delivery, commissioning and user training. This is an equipment supply and installation-support requirement, with the associated classification covering electricity supply installations and electricity supplies. The work is for the buyer’s rail operations and delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement would suit businesses that manufacture, distribute or integrate high-capacity electrical supply equipment, particularly mobile systems used to provide shore-side power. It also has a practical commissioning and training element, so suppliers need to be able to bring the equipment into service and explain its operation to the customer’s staff.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Transport for Wales Rail Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the relevant UK legal basis. Charnvel Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 2 July 2026 and runs from 2 July 2026 to 2 December 2026. Its value is £108,000 excluding VAT and £130,000 including VAT. The award covers the complete requirement for the 180kVA mobile 850V shore supply unit, including delivery, commissioning and training. The contract is active. The published outcome confirms that this was a goods procurement rather than a services-only or works-only contract, and that evaluation was not conducted through a competitive tender process.

This outcome indicates a specific requirement for mobile, high-capacity shore power equipment within Transport for Wales Rail Limited’s operations. A credible future competitor would need to provide a 180kVA, 850V solution and demonstrate control of the full delivery chain, from equipment supply through transport, commissioning and customer training. Relevant capability includes electrical engineering and integration, safe installation or connection of power equipment, testing before handover, and clear operating instruction for rail staff. Businesses should also be able to manage a complete equipment package rather than supplying an uncommissioned unit alone. The direct-award route used here shows that the buyer has previously sourced this type of requirement without competition, while the completed contract provides a clear reference point for the technical scope and supplier capability expected.
